I was having some problems with Anaconda on my work computer, and I needed to uninstall and reinstall it. After we uninstalled it, I deleted some left over folders that were not initially deleted. In particular, I deleted:
C:\Users\MY_ID.anaconda,
C:\Users\MY_ID.conda,
C:\Users\MY_ID.ipython,
C:\Users\MY_ID.keras,
C:\Users\MY_ID.matplotlib,
C:\Users\MY_ID.spyder-py3,
C:\Users\MY_ID\AppData\Local\conda,
C:\Users\MY_ID\AppData\Local\Spyder.
After deleting those folders, we began the installation process. During installation, we had the following settings:
Add Anaconda to PATH,
All Users,
Changed the directory from C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3 to C:\Users\My_ID\Anaconda3.
Once the installation was complete, I was able to open Anaconda Prompt and use the conda command to activate my virtual environment and install packages from within that environment.
At the end of the day, I restarted my computer. This morning, I opened the Anaconda Prompt, and I receive:
Access is denied.
C:\Users\MY_ID> _
How come it suddenly quit working? Do I need to clear caches? Also, I do not have Admin Privileges. Thank you!

I tried to delete a conda environment that I no longer use. I had VSCode open, and even though that particular environment wasn't active within the terminal in VSCode, it seems that there was an issue with it being removed because I had VSCode open. The folder for the environment still appears in the envs folder within the Anaconda3 directory. When I run conda env list, the environment doesn't show up. However, I'm still able to activate it and see the packages installed for that env. Is there anything I can do about this?
I am on a Mac. The terminal window doesn't seem to be able to access my bin or bash folder anymore, I'm not sure.
In the terminal window I am typing conda --version to determine which version of Anaconda I have installed but I get the message -bash: conda: command not found. - Also when I am in Atom, and am using the Python text editor and I'm trying to create a virtual environment, I type sudo conda create --name myDjangoEnv django and I get the same message, sudo: conda: command not found.
I used sudo because otherwise it would not let me set up a virtual environment without entering a password.
I think I edited the bash profile when I set up the virtual environment.
The thing is, I was able to do all of this yesterday, when I typed conda --version in my terminal I got the version of anaconda I installed, and I was able to update the version of anaconda. And in the python editor in Atom, when I typed sudo conda create --name myDjangoEnv django it set up a virtual environment. I was also able to update to the latest version of django.
Additionally, I had a new problem. In Atom I couldn't install a package. if I hit install a package, nothing would happen. Yesterday I was able to install packages. However I restarted Atom and now I am able to install packages, but I'm still having the problem listed above.
Does anyone know what is going on? I'm pretty new to all of this stuff. Should I reinstall Atom, Anaconda, django, and Python? Perhaps, I didn't install it to the right location? Is it easier to run all these programs on windows 10?
Atom is installed in /Users/myusername/Downloads
django: there's no .app for django so its hard to tell where its installed. Some of the folders for django are installed here:
/Users/myusername/newproject/newenv/lib/python3.7/site-packages
or another django folder's location is here:
/Users/myusername/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/bokeh/server
python: there are so many python folders, 1 python 3.8 folder's location is:
/Users/myusername/opt/anaconda3/pkgs/lxml-4.5.2-py38h63b7cb6_0/lib
Anaconda: /Users/myusername/opt/anaconda3
echo "$PATH" produces
/Volumes/myExternalDrive/opt/anaconda3/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin
conda is installed in: /Users/myUserName/opt/anaconda3/pkgs/conda-4.8.3-py38_0/info/test/tests/test-recipes/activate_deactivate_package/src/etc –
Your PATH appears to have an incorrect component. Where you see
/Volumes/myExternalDrive/opt/anaconda3/bin
you should apparently have
/Users/myusername/opt/anaconda3/bin
At a terminal prompt, you can temporarily fix this with
PATH=/Users/myusername/opt/anaconda3/bin:$PATH
and at that point, you should be able to run conda --version and python3 in that terminal instance, until you terminate it.
The proper permanent fix is to find the place where this was incorrectly configured, and correct it there; probably your .bashrc needs a more thorough cleanup, but that's already far outside the scope of your original question.
(This assumes your home directory is /Users/myusername; the command echo "$HOME" should confirm this. That's where you'd look for .bashrc too.)
I am having trouble adding conda to my environment variables on windows. I installed anaconda 3 though I didn't installed python, so neither pip or pip3 is working in my prompt. I viewed a few post online but I didn't find anything regarding how to add conda to my environment variables.
I tried to create a PYTHONPATH variable which contained every single folder in Anaconda 3 though it didn't worked.
My anaconda prompt isn't working too. :(
so...How do I add conda and pip to my environment variables or path ?
You can access to conda and pip directly in their directory :
On Windows : %ANACONDA_INSTALL_DIR%\Scripts, you will find conda.exe and pip.exe
On Linux : $ANACONDA_INSTALL_DIR/bin, there are conda and pip executable files.
Where $ANACONDA_INSTALL_DIR is the directory of your Anaconda installation.
To add Anaconda to your path, you can add this folder to your PATH.
For Linux, you can add this line to yout .bashrc file
export PATH=$ANACONDA_INSTALL_DIR/bin:$PATH
As said #BcK, reinstalling Anaconda and choosing to add Anaconda to your path is also a way to do this. This option makes a backup of your .bashrc file and add the export line.
EDIT
To open a terminal with the conda environment activated on Windows, I usually create a desktop shortcut with the following target :
%windir%\System32\cmd.exe "/K" %ANACONDA_INSTALL_DIR%\Scripts\activate.bat %ANACONDA_INSTALL_DIR%
Thanks guys for helping me out. I solved the problem reinstalling anaconda (several times :[ ), cleaning every log and resetting the path variables via set path= in the windows power shell (since I got some problems reinstalling anaconda adding the folder to PATH[specifically "unable to load menus" or something like that])
I have downloaded Anaconda3 for windows 64-bit operating system. After the download and install completed, I opened the Anaconda prompt but it give me this nice error:
'C:\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
I just surfed the internet and found a solution to uninstall all previous packages of python but did not work. I have searched for activate.bat file in my system " found it in one folders of anaconda directory " and copy, paste it to the Scripts folder but it gives me errors with conda packages and dependencies. Any solutions please!!
I cannot run any either jupyter notebook or conda as well. Actually, I do not know how to find them in those bunch of Anaconda files and packages.
Thanks in advance,,,.
This is a known Anaconda bug:
From their Github:
" I have fixed the underlying bug here but we will not release new Anaconda installers for a while.
The fix is in the latest Miniconda installers:
64-bit:
https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe
https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe
32-bit:
https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86.exe
https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Windows-x86.exe
Install those, then run the Anaconda Prompt and install whatever packages you need. If you want the latest full Anaconda release then use:
conda install anaconda=5.0.1"
Check this github thread for the full answer: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/6053
When you installing Anaconda3 on Windows 10 and the Anaconda Navigator menu item does not install, and running the Anaconda Prompt gives the activate.bat error.
Delete all instances of the previous python IDEs
Reveal hidden files within the control menu
Go to -> C:\Users[Username] in windows explorer
Delete the files .conda and .anaconda. Possibly others if you had other IDEs.
Go to -> C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local
Delete all python related files conda, python, ect.. any instances other python IDEs
Go to -> C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Roaming
Delete all python related files conda, python, ect.. any instances other python IDEs
Run the Anaconda installer as Admin and install in a directory such as C:\anaconda3
Sit back and wonder why an install took 4 hours out of my life and start drinking.
At some point I felt like this was a test for the uninitiated... can I start coding now?
I think the problem will be solved by clearing all dependencies. I initially had python installed, 2.7 and 3.6. I just get rid of all of them. The problem is not solved yet.
I discovered that My MySQL server is running. I just closed it but it did not work. I just uninstalled it completely and The problem is solved. Anaconda needs to listen to , I think 8888 port, which might be used also by MySQL server as well.
I hope this will help.
I had the same issue and solved it like this:
Open a command prompt (cmd.exe)
Execute these commands to reset two environment variables:
set PYTHONPATH=
set PATH=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
Start the installer (from within the same command prompt).
Now the installation will succeed!
Tip: if 'Anaconda Prompt' in the start menu isn't working afterwards, use this workaround:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3
I solved it
If you install other python directories or install anaconda on your drive. remove them all
and visit to C:\Users\<username> and you can find this babies
.anaconda
.conda
Kill them all, reinstall anaconda.
Now it works well.
I uninstalled any previous versions.Restarted system and installed Anaconda again at path C:\Users\xyzuser\Anaconda.It is working now
I solved it with:
0. Rename/delete previous Anaconda3 directory (at c:\ProgramData\Anac...) (show/check hidden items at File Manager to delete it)
1. Re-install Anaconda
2. At Advanced Installation Options, I check both:
2.1. [check] Add Anaconda to my PATH environment variable
2.2. [check] Register Anaconda as my default Python 3.6
3. then click Install button
4. Done
my OS: windows 10, 64bit
I have met exactly the same problem when I was using anaconda 5.3.1 on windows10.
Well, the solution is to uninstall your anaconda and re-install it.
And when you install anaconda, you can't close the exe command window manually which would show up at the end of installing. You should let it run and exit by itself. Only by this way your anaconda would be installed correctly.
The Fix is simple. Here's what you need to do.
Go to--
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Scripts\
*Replace USERNAME with your own***
If you are not able to access this location, then directly search in your C drive for Continuum, and from there you can write the rest of the URL
Search for "Activate.bat"
If you are able to find this file, then go to ANACONDA PROMPT and
Change your directory by typing:
cd C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Scripts\
*Replace USERNAME with your own***
Your directory is now projecting to this new location.
Now type:
activate.bat
Hit enter
Now you activated your Anaconda.
Now, you can check if it is working or not by typing
Conda list
I had Anaconda version 3.5 installed on my machine but I decided to uninstall it (via the control panel) and to download version 2.7 instead. I am using Windows 7.
However, I have an error message towards the end of the installation where I receive a pop up window saying: Failed to create Anaconda menus and then another one saying Failed to add Anaconda to the system PATH.
When I click ignore on these pop ups the installation is finished but I do not even see Anaconda in my start menu.
I used different installers (4.2.0 and 4.1.1) but it still not working.
I tried to install it for all users (as I read on the Internet) but it still did not work. The error message was different (see link below) followed by the pop up Failed to create Anaconda menus.
https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/24353213/20858712/e4438f60-b94b-11e6-806b-f01436aac306.PNG
Can you please help as I am stuck and cannot use it at all?
2.5 years later, I had the same problem installing v2019.07, but the version actually doesn't matter. Anaconda has had this bug in the installer for a long time.
2019.07 successfully installed on one of my dev boxes
2019.07 failed to create menus on a second dev box with a very similar environment. Both Anaconda and Miniconda failed. I tried everything in this thread, and then some.
Finally I went to the download archive and grabbed 2019.03, which installed with no issues. This fixed it for me, your mileage may vary.
I was able to install from Windows Safe Mode. There were no errors during the installation.
I almost spent two days running in circles trying all the solutions I could find on the Internet, but here is what worked for me.
So, CondaHTTPError aka SSL module is not available error is caused by the missing/misplacement of libcrypto file in anaconda3/DLLs folder:
Tl;dr:
From anaconda3\Library\bin copy below files and paste them in anaconda3/DLLs:
- libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
- libssl-1_1-x64.dll
Detailed answer:
Uninstall any Python versions you have (e.g. Python 3.7 or Python 3.8)
go to Control Panel--> Program and Features--> Select Python-->
uninstall
Uninstall any Anaconda versions you might have (e.g. Anaconda or miniConda)
For Anaconda:
go to Control Panel--> Program and Features--> Select Anaconda-->uninstall
For miniConda
go to Control Panel--> Program and Features--> Select miniconda--> uninstall
Delete any leftover Environment variables
go to Control Panel--> System--> Advanced System settings (on left side)--> in System Properties click on Environment Variables button--> in User Variable select Path and click the Edit button--> delete any path related to Anaconda, miniConda or Python.
E.g.
C:\Users\Bob \AppData\Local\Programs\Anaconda\...
C:\Users\Bob \AppData\Local\Programs\miniconda\...
b. If you don’t see any paths related to Anaconda, miniConda or Python; you are good to go.
Reboot your machine
Download the latest version of Anaconda
Run the Installer; keep all the default settings
Go to your anaconda3/library/bin folder:
E.g.C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Library\bin
Copy these files:
libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
libssl-1_1-x64.dll
paste these in anaconda3/DLLs folder:
Reopen the Anaconda Prompt and test with any command that requires an Internet connection.
E.g.
conda update conda
Or with
conda update --all
I was also facing the same issue while installing Anaconda 3.5, please follow the steps below before you start installation :
Delete old Python versions from your PC/Laptop
Clear path variables which have created on your PC
Turn off your anti virus program before you start installation
If you have JDK installed on your machine, uninstall it, also delete JAVA path created in variable
Could you try choosing run as administrator before clicking Anaconda 3 installation? That fixed mine.
Tried this as well, using 5.0.0 and 4.4.0 installer, tried as local user, admin user, install as administrator, clicked the "add to path", but none of these worked. Every time I got the same "failed to install menus"
Then I added the Anaconda target directory C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3 to the end of my Path, re-ran the installer (5.0.0) and it finally worked.
This is complete process. With this step you cat install your Anaconda of any version(not need to download miniconda).
If you are window user or any OS you are using first download Anacond.
first you need to delete all language(java,python etc) variable path which is set via environment variable.
If you are window user then need to off window defender.
After that uninstall all antivirus software(If you using antivirus software you will not get menu ).
And install Anacoda you can install perfectly.100% working
Turn off the antivirus installed in your computer before installing the anaconda setup.
During installation select its access to all users which requires admin permission then the default path automatically changes into C/Program Data/Anaconda 3.
Then it won't show any errors :)
